If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Sylvan Lake, MI insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
